METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DELIVERY OF CRYOGENIC FUEL TARGET FOR CONTROLLED INERTIAL FUSION Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC G21B1/19 

FIELD: cryogenic fuel delivering systems.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method and system for delivering a cryogenic fuel target for inertial thermonuclear fusion. According to the method, each cryogenic fuel target is placed in a carrier made in the form of a magnetic dipole from a type II superconductor. Then the carrier is introduced to the starting position in a closed transport channel equipped with an electromagnetic accelerator in the form of a magnetic rail, at least two solenoids enclosing the magnetic rail, and a control circuit. Next, the carrier is accelerated from the starting position in the closed transport channel with the help of an electromagnetic accelerator due to sequential excitation of the solenoids by the control circuit in the process of carrier levitation above the magnetic rail and the cryogenic fuel target is directed from the carrier accelerated to a predetermined speed from the outlet position in the closed transport channel to the chamber for thermonuclear synthesis. The system includes a closed transport channel equipped with an electromagnetic accelerator in the form of a magnetic rail, at least two solenoids covering said magnetic rail, and a control circuit configured to sequentially switch the solenoids.

EFFECT: reducing the size and complexity of the system used and, as a consequence, simplifying the implementation of the method in it.
